Toxic environment
Biomedical Scientist (Former Employee) - London - 15 October 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIt seems like what we do most of the time is checking patient ID on samples. It’s frustrating that I went to uni to study for this job and now most of the time before you do anything you need to speak to a biochemist before you cancel a potassium of 7 when all other results are normal!? This isn’t a hard scenario. It’s so boring, there’s no challenge to the job, the machine and auto validation does most of the work, and the work that’s left for you to do you have to ask someone else’s opinion. Why did I do the degree? Why did I do the portfolio.
Pros
It’s a job at th e end of the day. Some people don’t even have that.
Cons
Management is very sneaky and has favourites

Stressful, fast-paced working environment
Staff Nurse (Former Employee) - London - 29 October 2023
Standard routine for ward nurses. Very good training system, multidisciplinary oriented sessions. Generally understaffed, short to no breaks, unpaid overtime. No time availability to fulfill both care needs and nursing documentation. Overall, rewarding job but poor system.

Short/no breaks, unpaid overtime

Jobs at NHS
in LondonNo chance for Career Progression
Senior Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee) - London - 27 July 2023
Poor Management all though the Department was not like that when I started my Career there. Lack of Staff Progression Within the Department. No encouragement to Reach or achieve Goals. Correct Skillset needed For Work Life Balance. Not there. Views and Recommendations on This Subject were not welcome by Management. I left Work Feeling drained, tired And disatisfied that I would have to go back There the next day. Staff Treated Poorly. Advancements in Work and positive changes were not recognised and certainly Not Aknowlleged. All told if you require recognisation as a Valuable Member of Staff Then perhaps you should look elsewhere. Until Major Changes are Put into Place.
Pros
Standard Conditions; Staff HolidayMaternity Leave, Paternity Leave. Increase in days of. Statuoray Sick Pay. Work only 1 weekend in every six.
Cons
Long hours. No overtime Pay, you worked until the work was finished. No time off in luiw, Flexible working not encouraged. Staff to frightened to ask questions.

Matrons/So-called-managers had little experience
Band 4 Covid Vaccinator (Bank) (Former Employee) - London - 17 July 2023
Matrons/So-called-managers had little experience of managing non-NHS brought-in, suddenly-qualified, Covid-19 Vaccinators. We came from multiple industries/services where work attitudes differed from the NHS norm - a "culture clash." As a former business consultant, I offered a couple of suggestions as to improving the vaccination service. Immediately, I was dumped! I requested further shifts and was offered no more during the summer of 2021. Clearly, middle management does not accept criticism or opportunities to improve.
Pros
Giving back: My late ex-wife who suffered multiple illnesses received exceptional care from the NHS
Cons
Intransigent NHS local management

OK place to work
Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 13 June 2023
Worked as an HCA in an out patient clinic for just over a year. The work was great and I learned a lot. The hospital did a great job keeping its staff up to date on requisite knowledge. However I didn’t enjoy working in the team. Very catty and there was (unfortunately) a clear divide between the nurses and HCAs. Lots of work to do to turn this around as it is deeply embedded in the culture.
